Bali Municipal Councilors Validate 2023 Administrative and Management Accounts

This was during the evaluation and the validation of the 2023 administrative and management accounts session on the 17^th of May 2024 playing host at the Bali Council hall.

Chaired by Mayor Wandum Bunga Ernest, who in his opening speech thanked Councilors for their massive attendance and the selfless role they have each been playing to help arrest the crisis situation in Bali.

He said “the tense situation in Bali can only be brought under control through collective efforts and collaboration”.

Coming back to the smooth, sound and learning working session, Councilors in their deliberations saluted the Mayors open door policy and good working relationship, with the staffs, Councilors and the Bali population.

In what ensued concerning projects in the municipality, Mayor Wandum Bunga, took pains off to give an account of the countless projects going on in the municipality unperturbed starting with the Women empowerment center of over 60 million above the council, bridges, covets, equipping and rehabilitation works to end with the rebuilding of the Bali grand stand.

All these projects swallowed the whooping sum of  over four hundred and eighty six million one hundred and sixty three thousand nine hundred and sixty francs CFA producing 35.5% ratio, without any stady income generating source from the municipality.

This was reiterated in the session, that Bali just like other Councils operating in declared red zones in the Region, depend solely on “Santem” from government to run the council which is not enough and pushes the Mayor to go stretching his hands left and right to meet up.

Owing to that, deliberations were unanimously voted in the course  of the session permitting or authorizing the Mayor to borrow certain figure to help address Council urgent needs.

In all, the grand Council assembly ended with Councilors voting both the 2023 administrative and management accounts with 29 on 29 votes an indication that they were all satisfied with management.

What must be noted is that, the  session was convened in adherence to section 466 to 477 to examine the 2023 Administrative and Management accounts of Bali Council, as enshrined in law N0 2019/024 of 24 December 2019 to institute the general code of Regional and local authorities in Cameroon.
